Alone and frozen,
Heart broken and afraid
Soul dying
Eyes shuttered
hiding in pain and shame
Arms wrapped around myself
protecting the little girl inside
from the harsh, cruel world.
Unseen
Unknown
Unwanted
Untouched
Light and warmth,
Fragrance of rain,
Tender voice
speaking my name,
Scarred hand reaching out
taking mine.
Seen
Known
Wanted
Held
Flowers and sunshine
Little girl dancing
Heart trusting, unafraid
Soul alive
Eyes laughing with delight
Joy filling all of me
Arms holding You tight.
This is what Your love has done for me.

"Unseen

builds so achingly. I'm honored to be here, reading your story in verse.
Your arms wrapped around yourself, while His scarred hand reaches out. A wonderful picture you have left with me.
I love it! Speaks to me...
Your poem touched my soul. You have shared courageously; you will be blessed.
This is painful, freeing, lovely.
Lovely and moving, from despair to joy. Beautiful!
